In particular, MPCD has been used extensively in the last decade to simulate the dynamics and flow fields of
various nano-and microswimmers like a Taylor sheet [1]},
artificial nano- and microswimmers
[2]}, [3]}, [4]}, [5]}, [6]}, [7]}, [8]}, [9]}, [10]}, [11]}, [12]}, [13]}, [14]}, [15]}, [16]}, [17]},
sperm cells, flagella, cilia, and self-propelled rods [18]}, [19]}, [20]}, [21]}, [22]}, [23]}, [24]}, [25]}, [26]}, [25]}, [28]},
dumbbell swimmers [29]},
swimming bacteria [30]}, [31]}, [32]},
and the complicated motion of the parasite African Trypanosome [33]}, [34]}, [35]} and bacterial swarmer cells [36]}.
At present a very popular spherical model swimmer is the so-called squirmer.
Its
motion has recently
been modeled
with MPCD
and it has been used to explore generic features of microswimmers
[37]}, [38]}, [39]}, [40]}, [41]}, [42]}, [43]}, [44]}, [45]}.
In this paper we will summarize the details how the squirmer is implemented and simulated with MPCD.
